PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Fernando Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jin Erik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Santos kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Meu Ébano. Fernando Santos had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 136.2lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Jin Erik will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
